I don't mean to sound offensive but you do understand how the US election system works, right?

It is possible to win the popular vote but lose the election. I don't think anyone is spinning the fact she won the popular vote to mean she should've won.

The President is elected by the electoral college who aren't directed by popular vote but by electorates.

I don't mean to sound offensive but, how could you possibly draw that conclusion from what I said?

It seems like rather than address what I said, you decided to make baseless attacks against me.
